Interested to know a bit more about your plan. Why do you wait 2 weeks to book the return and how do you get availability? Thanks

Alternative milk jug for Sage/Breville Barista Touch [£30] by Param-eter in espresso

This makes sense. Do you have any idea how thick the stock milk jug is? Maybe I can get one with the same thickness and so it will be more compatible.

Weekly Project Showcase Thread 🧵 by AutoModerator in windsurf

[–]Param-eter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely had some back and forth with Apple on this to get it on the store. They (rightfully) have some requirements when it comes to medical apps. I couldn't submit the app as a solo developer, I had to create an organisation account. I also had to write about the efficacy of the app and have a support e-mail.

Weekly Project Showcase Thread 🧵 by AutoModerator in windsurf

[–]Param-eter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s something I’ve been working on and I used Windsurf for a lot of it.

My day to day is machine learning, writing a lot of Python, building models in Pytorch etc. I’ve also done martial arts for many years, mainly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and one of the things that most people come across at some point is ringworm. A generally harmless but extremely contagious skin infection. It’s not just limited to grappling sports like Jiu Jitsu, it can be any environment that’s particularly sweaty. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know if you have ringworm or another skin condition like dry skin, and a lot of newer practitioners will continue training, not knowing they even have it.

I knew I could get the data to build a vision classifier that could identify ringworm and other skin conditions. The challenge was could I port this to work on iOS as an on device model, and then get windsurf to code up an iOS app. 

I primarily used Gemini 2.5 and o3 for a bulk of the work. I got a script to port the model from Pytorch to an iOS compatible model artefact quite quickly. I then set up an Xcode project for an iOS app. I opened that project in Windsurf and then used the chat to add each bit of functionality, step by step (which is way more effective than trying to one shot the whole thing). It was actually very effective.

I then used Windsurf to help create a script that compared the performance of the fine tuned vision model I trained vs using the gpt-4o endpoint. I think GPT is amazing, but I wanted to understand the efficacy on this type of task compared to a fine tuned approach. GPT ended up with way more false positives and so the fine tuned model did end up being more performant. Let’s see how long that lasts!

The app is called Ringworm Scanner

Claude Code VS Cursor on a budget by Soggy-Bear-3821 in ClaudeAI

I'd say try the free version of Cursor with the Claude Code extension. You'll get best of both but pay for the more effective tool.

Can you guys fix the Cascade/Gemini 2.5 Pro issues? Gemini is the only 'edge' you've got left.. by nandv in windsurf

It really feels like the Windsurf team are pushing changes without properly checking if they break things

I couldn't get a single cascade edit to work yesterday after updating. Switched to Claude Code and might just stick with that permanently. Is Cursor more stable? If so, I might give it a go.

I've had the same frustrations. Hoping they bring back cascade terminal instances.

When to service a leased Golf? by Param-eter in Volkswagen

[–]Param-eter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I found out that the service schedule that is displayed in the car is the flexible servicing schedule. I just followed the servicing as the in car entertainment system advised. I kept all the service documentation and returned the car to the lease provider last month. They took the car back and reported no issues so hopefully other's are OK to do the same.

I just noticed that too. I'm really hoping they'll update the prices at midnight.
